Tongabezi allows guests to break bread with other guests at our gorgeous sleeper dining table—hosted by a gregarious manager. Take a private table on one of three open air dining decks or book an entire floor of the Lookout for an exclusive meal. Venture a little further afield to experience a Sampan anchored offshore in the Zambezi River and attended by waiters (and the occasional singing choir!) who deliver each course by canoe!

How Do I Get There?

Tongabezi Lodge is a romantic hideaway on the banks of the Zambezi River just upstream from Victoria Falls. The friendly team welcomes guests to a selection of houses and cottages, each beautifully styled with furniture and embellishments from all over Africa. Guests can dine beside the river or on their private terrace.

Dog House

Rates starting at $875.00/night

The Dog House occupies another world at the furthest edges of the Tongabezi garden. It is the perfect escape for families and friends who love travel and do so together. Here, three separate decks are connected to each other and the rest of the world only by elevated walkways. Sustainable pine forests have provided the beautiful wooden decking that is raised high enough to allow the mighty Zambezi River to run underneath all the rooms during high water.

Built with the perfect view, indulgence and privacy in mind, the Honeymoon House is the original blueprint for luxury Tongabezi accommodation. The private balcony overlooks the river, providing a perfect setting for a secluded candlelit dinner beneath the stars.

Alternatively, you can choose to dine with our other guests on one of the river decks.

Haven from the elements, it is entirely enclosed with light streaming in through every wall. Charming glass tiles reflect the sunrise in African patterns onto the wood and stone floors.

River Cottages

Rates starting at $655.00/night

Redefining life on the banks of the Zambezi River, the River Cottages feature high ceilings, giant bespoke wood and glass windows and doors leading onto expansive sustainable pine decks. The signature, African-fusion Tongabezi style has been distilled to the best of "Made in Zambia" in both the interior and outdoor spaces.

Famous for keeping the romance of travel alive, the Cottages were designed to provide a private haven where your every whim just happens to be attended to by your very own valet.

Just a little magical? We think so.

Treehouse

Rates starting at $755.00/night

At the end of the swimming pool a hidden path winds along the cliff face to our secluded Tree House. Set against the basalt rock bed amongst the branches of a riverine Ebony tree, this house spreads out over a sustainable pine deck that guarantees incredible views of the Zambezi River. The king-size bed has a large, canopied mosquito net with air conditioning and the extensive space can also be used for private dining and lounging. The bathroom’s crowning glory is a perfectly positioned claw-foot bath tub. From the Anatolian carpets to the Asian chests and West African artwork, the Tree House invokes exotic day dreams.
